SLU-PP-332

SLU-PP-332 is a small synthetic molecule, not a peptide, that switches on the estrogen-related receptors ERR-alpha, ERR-beta and ERR-gamma. It has been studied only in mice, in work on endurance, body fat, heart failure and aging kidneys.

How it is thought to work

SLU-PP-332 turns on the same cell switches that endurance exercise turns on, prompting cells to build more mitochondria, the parts that make energy, and to burn more fat. It does this through chemistry rather than training, which is why it is called an exercise mimetic. Researchers describe it as a pan-agonist of the estrogen-related receptors, mainly ERR-alpha, which are gene-controlling proteins in the cell nucleus that run the aerobic gene program. These receptors are present in heart, brain, kidney, liver, fat and gut, so the effect is not limited to one tissue, and as of June 2026 there is no registered or completed human trial and no published human pharmacokinetic study.

In technical termsSLU-PP-332 is a synthetic small-molecule pan-agonist of the estrogen-related receptors (ERRα, ERRβ, and ERRγ) that activates transcription factors controlling mitochondrial biogenesis, fatty acid oxidation, and aerobic gene programs, mimicking the effects of endurance exercise.

Reported side effects

Seen in studies: in mouse studies at 25 to 50 mg/kg for up to 28 days there was no obvious toxicity, no sickness-related weight loss, no liver-enzyme signal at the doses tested and no heart dysfunction. In a mouse heart-failure model it improved heart function, and in an aged-kidney model it protected the kidney. No serious adverse events have been reported in any published rodent study at the doses and durations tested.

Reported by users: informal community reports mention appetite changes, although food intake was not significantly altered in the obese-mouse studies, along with a more stimulated feeling, disrupted sleep and a higher resting heart rate. None of this has controlled human data behind it.

Not ruled out: there is no human safety data at all, no Phase 1 trial and no long-term animal toxicology study beyond 12 weeks in any species. ERR receptors sit in many tissues at once, ERR-alpha takes part in some cancer-metabolism pathways, chronic high-dose human heart data do not exist, and how the human liver processes the compound, including CYP pathway interactions, is uncharacterized.

Who should avoid it

People who are pregnant or breastfeeding: no safety data exist for this group.

People under 18: no safety data exist for this group.

People with active or recent cancer: ERR-alpha takes part in some cancer-metabolism pathways, so cancer risk questions remain open.

People with known heart disease, irregular heart rhythm or uncontrolled high blood pressure: there is no chronic high-dose human data.

People with significant liver or kidney impairment: how the human liver handles the compound and its drug interactions are uncharacterized, and no human safety profile exists.

People taking stimulants, hormone modulators or experimental metabolic compounds without clinician oversight: drug interactions are uncharacterized.

Competitive athletes tested under WADA rules: ERR agonists fall under WADA class S4.5 metabolic modulators as a class, even though SLU-PP-332 is not named separately.

What gets monitored

Resting heart rate and blood pressure should be tracked periodically due to community reports of heart-rate changes. (reported by Peptide Dosing Protocols)

Common questions

What is SLU-PP-332 and what is it researched for?

It is a synthetic small molecule that switches on all three estrogen-related receptors, developed in the Thomas Burris lab and often described as an exercise mimetic. All published work is in mice, covering endurance, body fat, heart failure and aging kidneys.

What amounts are reported for SLU-PP-332?

Reported amounts and schedules for SLU-PP-322 differ by source, and peppersite does not recommend one. Each reported figure is listed in the dosing rows on this page, next to the source that reports it.

How are SLU-PP-332 tablets usually sold?

It is commonly carried as a 50 mg oral tablet in a 60-tablet bottle. No approved product exists, so tablet content is not subject to FDA manufacturing oversight.

What is the difference between SLU-PP-332 tablets and injectable vials?

Tablets are easier to handle and count by bottle, while injectable vials are the form used in the published animal studies. The mouse work used injection into the abdomen.

What is SLU-PP-332's half-life?

No formal human pharmacokinetic half-life has been published. Washout in mice appears relatively fast given the short exposure window, but that is an inference from animal data, not a human fact.

How is SLU-PP-332 injection reconstituted?

That depends on the vial size and how much water is added. The calculator on this page works out the draw for any combination, and the reconstitution guide covers the steps.

Is SLU-PP-332 FDA-approved?

No. It is not approved by the FDA for any use. As of June 2026 there is no registered or completed human clinical trial for it.
